(1)A rare escape from cultivation in Florida. (2)Not
considered naturalized in Florida by Long and Lakela (3)Jasminum mesnyi
Hance, Japanese Jasmine, is planted and often persists.[but not naturalized
in South East USA] (4)Sometime reproduce and spread by stem layers but it is
nowhere more than a minor escape from cultivation.

(1) Hardiness Range 6B to 11
(2) Hardiness: USDA Zones 8 - 10. An evergreen in mild climates, primrose
jasmine can tolerate light frosts. However, it may die to the ground
following a hard freeze, but usually comes back in spring if the winter
wasn't too severe. Late spring freezes can kill new shoots and flower buds
(3)Tolerates low water (4)Zones 7-9 (5)Ravines, woods; 500-2600 m

A virus identified as AMV on the basis of serology was
isolated from a symptomless Jasminum mesnyi introduction. Its experimental
host range and physical properties were similar to those reported for AMV.
The best of several comparable purification procedures, in terms of virus
yield, involved blending tissue in phosphate buffer and chloroform, and
concentrating the virus by ultracentrifugation. A rabbit injected with
purified virus produced antisera with a titre of 1:1024. C. 60% of the RNA
was recovered when extracted using both sodium dodecylsulphate and phenol.
Base ratio of the RNA was A=24.9%; C=25.6%; G=21.6% and U=27.9%. [has a huge
host range -- http://www.agrobiologicals.com/products/P334.htm]

(1)"The fruit of the closely related jasminum mesnyi ,
however, remain unknown, eventhough the species is frequently cultivated as
an oramental. Fletcher (1916) reported that "J. primulinum Hemsl." as the
species is usually called in the horticultural trade, had to be introduced
to England as whole plants, because the plant collector E. H. Wilson,
working for Veitch's nurseries, had searched in vain for seeds. Fletcher
claimed that he had obtain a few seeds of J. mensyi from pollination with
both its own pollen and that of J. nudiflorum, but gave no details about the
fruit. Otherwise, the species has obviously been propagated only
vegetatively so far. Green commented on the apparent sterility of cultivated
plants, citing different chromosome counts and suggesting that at leat some
clones were triploid."; "In the botanical garden of Heidekberg, attempts to
achieve fruit-set in jasminum mesnyi by artificial pollination failed for
several years, only after these attempts had been abandoned were four young
fruits

(1)"...Most Jasmine plants are self-incompatible, the pollen
cannot fertilise the ovules. The incompatibility in Jasminum is similar to
that in Primula, which is known to many people. The plants come in two
morphs or forms. In one in form, the style is longer than the stamens, these
are called "pin" or long-styled flowers. " [other speciese in the same genus
shows structural incompatibility] (2)All attempted self-pollinations failed

(1) "Plants that utilize hawkmoth pollination are already
familiar to you. Anytime you smell the heavy, sweet, nocturnal fragrance of
the white, tubular flowers of jasmine (Jasminum, Oleaceae), honeysuckle (Lonicera,
Caprifoliaceae), Gardenia (Rubiaceae), Pittosporum (Pittosporaceae), or
Stephanotis (Asclepiadceae), excellent candidates for hawkmoth visitation
are in the neighborhood. Add to that some of the white-flowered woody
Apocynaceae, such as Plumeria, oleander (Nerium oleander), star-jasmine (Trachelospermum
jasminoides), or Natal plum (Carissa macrocarpa), and the standard syndrome
of floral features begins to take shape. Other sterling, and stunning,
examples are such garden herbs as flowering tobacco (Nicotiana sylvestris,
Solanaceae) and four o'clocks (Mirabilis jalapa, Nyctaginaceae"

sporadically into summer. They are semidouble with 6-10 petals, almost 2 in
